UNITED STATES BERNARD J. CARTER, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

STOVE BOARD.

App1icaton led January 4, 1924.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, BERNARD J. CARTER,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove Boards,

of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a stove board and has for its principal object to provide a device of this nature possessed of a simple and efficient construction, one which will be reliable, inexpensive to manufacture, durable, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

l/Vith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the desoription progresses, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

Tn the drawing:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the device embodying my invention,

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof showing a portion in section, and

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device showing the same formed with a different shape than that disclosed in Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing` in detail, it will be seen that the body board 1 has disposed on its upper side or face a platform 2. The body board 1 is preferably made of wood or some other similar light materia-l whereas the platform 2 is preferably made of sheet metal. This platform 2 is provided with a marginal depending flange 3 which is slightly spaced from the sides of the body 1.

A band /l is disposed about the flange 3 of the platform land extends thereabove and also about the lower edge of the flange and is then turned upwardly to be disposed between the flange and the body board 1 and the upper edge is turned inwardly.

Thus it will be seen that any grease or the like which falls upon the platform 2 will be prevented from getting on the floor because of the band 4 extending above this platform. The device may be made of any preferred 'formation and T have shown it square in Figures 1 and 2 and round in Figure 3 by way of example.

Serial No. 684,454.

Although I have described my invention with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the details of construction and in the material used may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Having thus described my invention what T claim as new is:

1. A stove board of the class described including a body board, a platform disposed over the body board and provided with a depending marginal flange slightly spaced from the side of the body board, and a band disposed about said flange extending a distance above the platform and provided at its bottom with an inturned upwardly eX- tending flange disposed between the fiange of the platform and the sides of the body board.

2. A stove board of the class described including a body board, a platform disposed over the body board and provided with a depending marginal flange extending about the side of the bodv board, and a band disposed about said fiange extending a distance above the platform and provided at its top with an inturned downwardly extending fiange having its bottom edge rested upon the platform.

3. A stove board of the class described including a body board, a platform disposed over the body board and provided with a depending marginal flange slightly spaced 'from the side of the body board, and a band disposed about said flange extending a distance above the platform and provided at the bottom with an inturned upwardly eX- tending fiange disposed between the flange of the platform and the side of the bodyL board, and at its top with an inturned downJ wardly extending flange having its lower edge rested on the platform.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

BERNARD J. CARTER.
